This is how we deal with problems 'down home'

I've been following this story since I saw the headline in the Bulletin, "Chainsaw chase leads to charges".

Reminds me of fights that break out at the Lounge in Bridgewater, fought with shovels and hammers. Who needs gun control? We need chainsaw, shovel and hammer control! (O_o)

What's on this weekend for suppers

I can remember driving past this convenience store thinking "I'd never pay THAT much for gas!"....

Now, paying 87.9 cents/litre for supreme seems like a dream come true. As you can see, the store has long since closed. I'm just glad I got a picture of these old gas prices before the signs were removed!
